I used a la mode to make a design for the coupling telescope with a 3.3um target waist, that included the collimator in the overall design. The plot is below, and code is attached.
The components are as follows:
label z (m) type parameters
----- ----- ---- ----------
lens1 0.7681 lens focalLength: 0.5000
lens2 0.8588 lens focalLength: 0.0350
collimator 0.8832 lens focalLength: 0.0020
The z coordinates are as measured from the beam waist of the NPRO (the figure on the far left of the plot).
Moving forward, this setup will be used to couple the NPRO (more specifically, the AUX lasers) light into the SM 980 fibers, as well as to help characterize the fibers themselves.
Ultimately, this will be a key component in the Frequency Offset Locking project that Akhil and I are working on, as it will transport the AUX light to the PSL, where the two beams will be beaten with each other to generate the input signal to the PID control loop, which will actuate the temperature servos of the AUX lasers. |
